[spectre] swiss 56k bastard web channel censors project

[Perry Bard]

This brings up an interesting question regarding art in the public 
realm. Is the internet a museum/gallery in which case anything goes or 
is it public space in which case there are generally controls for art 
projects.Even as cyberspace similar distinctions seem to apply.
